That's the clause. Now tell me, why do you think the founders thought it was important that a state's representatives actually be residents? Do you honestly think that if they'd forseen people moving into the state 2 1/2 months before the election they wouldn't have put a minimum time on it, much like they did on how long the person needs to have lived in the US?

And I didn't like that fast "move" by Cheney. But at least he'd live in Wyoming before so there was some legitimacy to his claim. Which is a step better than Keyes has right now. And I'm not whining or screaming, I'm stating the plain truth: no one can be a legitimate representative of a state they've never lived in, not Keyes, not Clinton, no one. Stating the plain truth isn't whining or screaming. Attacking the messenger because their message is inconvenient for you on the other hand...

You are whining by my definition.

A whiner is someone who continues to complain about something that can't be changed.

This issue was decided over a week ago. You're wasting our time.
